And double-click one of the titles, and you can preview the movie in the Preview window on the right.

After loading the movie, you can customize the output settings in the output setting area under the file list.

Select the subtitle and audio track from the corresponding drop-down lists.

Click Profile (located below where your DVD or Blu-ray's files are displayed) and select the format you want from the drop-down list. Just below Profile is Output, here you can browse your computer for a better destination folder for DVD Ripper to save your converted movies. As you see, all regular video and audio formats like MP4, MOV, MKV, WMV, AVI, FLV, MP3, WMA, WAV, M4A, etc. are provided.

If you want to convert your Blu-ray or DVD movies for play on portable devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod, HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Samsung, Sony, PSP, Xbox 360 and more, you can simply browse to find the icon of your device and select it as the output format to get videos with optimized settings. All Idevices output files can be synced to iTunes automatically.

Click the Browse button to specify an output folder to save the converted files.

Step 3: Start to rip

Once you've selected the output file format you want, you're ready to rip. Simply click the Convert button to let the software start converting your DVD or Blu-ray movies. The ripping time depends on the quality and duration of the output movie. Wait for the conversion to be done and click Open to get the converted video files.
